(Foley, MN) — A Benton County judge has set bail at 100-thousand dollars for a Litchfield man accused of shooting at a sheriff’s deputy last Thursday.

MNN reports 43-year-old Christopher Knyphausen is charged with one count of first-degree assault and one count of second-degree assault.

Prosecutors say he called the sheriff’s dispatch center saying he was at a storage shed and was going to start shooting a gun just for fun. When a deputy arrived, Knyphausen allegedly pointed a pistol at the deputy and fired. The deputy returned fire and took cover behind his squad car. Knyphausen fled and was later arrested.
